Transform xs grow tent to dry tent

I plan on hanging all the buds in two layers and switch my exhaust fan to mode 1 of 2 which should than be 175 instead of 233 m3/h! Does that make sense or should I leave it at full capacity? Additional fan on/off? I‘m positive I can keep the temperature between 14-18°C (57-56F)

We leave it at 175 or higher, on a lower setting much activity on the top level. First 0-5 (days) on setting 233, then 175 untill snappy. Or 233 at 14°C and 175 at 18°.

You can turn everything down to the lowest setting so long as the air is moving relatively easily from in the tent/grow area out... If you can keep them at the temp you mention by all means it will work, might take a bit more time if you're unsure if you can keep the RH on point but I'm sure they'll turn out just fine, no light and no direct fan and you should do great KEEP HER GROWING!!

If you have the option, have the fan only turn on when the RH/temps hit a triggered level. I set mine up to turn on low when the RH goes above 62% and then it turns off. I also have a small tent fan on low pointing into a corner/wall just to have the air moving. If not, set it on the lowest setting, you want a slower dry time. helps the curing process.

As long as you spread the buds out enough for the air to flow watch your humidity. Good luck

Make sure to wet trim all buds hang them on mesh drying racks. Of you can hold a cold temp wile. Drying make sure not to get to cold you don't want to get dew on the buds. I'd leave the exhaust fan on in the tent on low also get another fan for inside the tent don't let it blow right on buds also don't let the wind from it bounce off the wall and hit the buds directly this will sry buds uneven. Also keep in mind if you can hold twmp down at 58 to 60 degrees for about every degree you go about 60 degrees make sure you make.up with the rise in temp with lowering the rh. If temp rises in dry tent you must lower rh to balance

Why use a tent? The tent frame is good enough. Hell of a lot easier to control the RH and circulation strength too. Fans inside a tent are pretty much impossible not to cause a heavy breeze across the buds, which will dry them too fast. if you must.. you need a hygrometer to see if the lower exhaust fan setting results in a proper RH% (~60%). Thisi something you need to measure and not take someone's guess online. If temps and RH% are good, all is fine.. assuming the buds aren't getting air blown across them as opposed to just enough to maintain a consistent RH. Take the canvas off... put a fan in the room (or the humidifier fan might be enough, too). Keep it simpler.. not complicated. No need for a duct fan and a enclosed tent.

You can lower the exhaust speed and run an extra fan on the floor for a breeze. You just don’t want the fan directly blowing on the buds. Just a gentle breeze at this stage. No need for hurricane winds. Then keep temps and RH in check and it will be just fine.
